Stable three-dimensional vortex families consistent with Jovian observations including the Great Red Spot

A Zhang, PS Marcus - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
Detailed observations of the velocities of Jovian vortices exist at only one height in the
atmosphere, so their vertical structures are poorly understood. This motivates this study that …

Improved Algorithm for Efficient Computation of Slepian Functions Over Arbitrary Regions on the Sphere

H Yu, G Chang, S Zhang - IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Slepian functions are commonly used to analyze band-limited signals over arbitrary spatially
limited regions on the sphere. However, the classical algorithm struggles to compute …

Stable 3-dimensional Vortex Families Consistent with Jovian Observations Including the Great Red Spot

A Zhang, PS Marcus - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.01435, 2023 - arxiv.org
We have found the 3-dimensional structures of stable, long-lived planetary vortices. Detailed
observations of the horizontal velocities of Jovian vortices exist at only one height in the …

A mascon approach to estimating the depth of Jupiter's Great Red Spot with Juno gravity measurements

M Parisi, WM Folkner, E Galanti, Y Kaspi… - Planetary and Space …, 2020 - Elsevier
We evaluate a method for determining the depth of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) with two
Juno overflights dedicated to gravity science. The small-scale, localized nature of the …
